	Blaise Cendrars
		Blaise Cendrars was born in the small city of La Chaux-de-Fonds of a Swiss father and a Scottish mother.
		Cendrars was considered along with Apollinaire, whom he deeply influenced, a leading figure in the literary avant-garde before and after World War I. In his early experimental poems Cendrars used pieces of newsprint, the multiple focus, simultaneous impressions, and other modernist techniques.
		Cendrars started to publish in the late 1940s memoirs, which combined travel fantasies with colorful episodes from his life.

	An American writer born in Paris: Blaise Cendrars reads Henry Miller reading Blaise Cendrars - Critical Essay Twentieth ...
		Cendrars knew Moricand well, published his astrological essay Les Interpretes in 1919 at La Sirene editions, and used his name as the artist of a sketch of Moravagine appearing in chapter "y" of the novel.
		The recently published correspondence of Cendrars and Miller permits a closer look at their relations, even while it obscures to a large degree what is most important for the discussion that follows.
		It begins with a crucial letter from Miller to Cendrars written in Paris two months after the September 1, 1934, publication of Tropic of Cancer; almost all the subsequent letters from Miller are written from America, where he returned in 1939.

		Cendrars' great trilogy, "Prose du transsibérien et de la Petite Jeanne de France," "Les Pâques à New York" and "Le Panama ou Les Adventures de Mes Sept Oncles," are the first modernist poems.
		Documenting Cendrars' passage from Moscow to Manchuria in the wake of the 1905 Revolution and Sino-Russian War and in the company of a young woman from Montmartre, possibly a prostitute, the poem telescopes past and present, realistic images of war, apocalyptic visions, musings on the writer's many failures.
		The first is set in Antartica, the second in a snowbound cabin in the French Alps as Dan Yack assembles his memoirs, prodding at the long give-and-take between action and contemplation in his life.

		Blaise Cendrars, on le voit est allé à la bonne « école buissonnière».Pour une part, il effectua ses fabuleux voyages en compagnie d'un certain Rogovine et vécu avec lui des produits de la vente de pacotilles diverses (des cercueils, des couteaux de poche, des tire-bouchons, etc...).
		C'est à vingt ans que Blaise Cendrars qui plus tard devait se faire naturaliser français, vint pour la première fois en France.
		Amoureux de notre pays, Cendrars, dés le début de la Grande Guerre, s'engagea dans la Légion étrangère: il y perdit un bras, ce qui procura à sa silhouette ce style à nul autre pareil, qui, si j'ose écrire, convenait comme un gant à ce fabuleux personnage.

	The Drunken Boat
		Blaise Cendrars is one of the first to introduce modernity into twentieth century poetry.
		Cendrars finds Le Latin Mystique a profoundly humane work, and searches for a way to appeal to the populace at large with his writing, seeking to reverberate in as many layers of the reading public as possible.
		Prose is more open, popular.” Blaise attempts to cross the social bridges that often surround poetry, and in that sense his attitude is proletarian.

		The text of the work is a poem by Cendrars, 'La Prose du Transsiberien et de la petite Jehanne de France.' Cendrars attempts to unite his masculine and feminine aspects to create an androgynous text.
		In addition, simultaneity is represented in the poem's style and circular structure, as well as in the simultaneity of past, present and future.

	John Dos Passos, Blaise Cendrars, and the "other" modernism Twentieth Century Literature - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Historically, American critics have tended to neglect transatlantic twentieth-century influences, even those as important as Cendrars, and the valuable work of the many French poet-theorists (e.g., Soupault, Aragon, Desnos, Breton, Jacob) active during the 1900-1930 period.
		But it was less the poetry of Eliot, Pound, and other Anglophone modernists than the experiments of Cendrars and the French avant-garde that pushed Dos Passos to try poetry as fiction.
		Crucial to understanding the importance Dos Passos placed on Cendrars, the foreword to his translation of Panama connects Cendrars's and Apollinaire's poetry to the artistic revolutions then occurring in Paris.

	Confessions of Dan Yack by Blaise Cendrars
		Yack is Blaise Cendrar’s alter ego and the Confessions represent the distilled riches of the author’s picaresque life, purportedly spoken into a Dictaphone and divided into nine cylinders which constitute the book’s chapters.
		But before long Mireille is struck by a mysterious and fatal illness, the psychological origins of which raise disturbing questions about the nature of their relationship.
		Whereas Dan Yack’s previous memoir celebrated Yack’s exploits with malicious bravado, the Confessions of Dan Yack is a bittersweet memoir of love and loss in which the typically earthy, reckless Cendrars surface is shot through with profound melancholy and a palpable sense of psycho-sexual disburbance.
